Showers and thunderstorms have increased and become better organized with an area of low pressure in the southwestern Caribbean Sea. Conditions are marginally conductive for development, but that's probably all the low needs to develop into a tropical depression. It has a 40 percent chance of development in the next two days and a 60 percent chance in the next five days.
